¿Alguna pregunta?

¿Alguna pregunta? es un programa británico de debate de actualidad "en el que un panel de personalidades del mundo de la política , los medios de comunicación y otros ámbitos responden a las preguntas del público ".^{[ 2 ]}

Normalmente se emite en BBC Radio 4 los viernes a las 20:00 y se repite al día siguiente a las 13:10. Any Questions? también está disponible en BBC Sounds . ^{[ 3 ]}^{[ 4 ]}

Orígenes y programación

¿Alguna pregunta? se emitió por primera vez en octubre de 1948, inicialmente como un programa quincenal en el West of England Home Service , y originalmente estaba previsto que durara solo seis ediciones. Se convirtió en un programa semanal en septiembre de 1949, transmitido en directo en la región oeste los viernes por la noche, con una retransmisión nacional en el Home Service hasta seis días después.

Este patrón cambió en septiembre de 1950, cuando la transmisión en directo de los viernes pasó al programa BBC Light Programme ( BBC Radio 2 desde octubre de 1967), aunque el debate seguía proviniendo de lugares del oeste de Inglaterra y el programa continuó repitiéndose más tarde en el Home Service ( BBC Radio 4 desde octubre de 1967).

El 10 de abril de 1970, la emisión de los viernes se trasladó a Radio 4, que desde entonces ha emitido tanto las ediciones en directo como las grabadas de Any Questions?. ^{[ 5 ]}

Presentadores

¿Alguna pregunta? fue presidido por Freddie Grisewood de 1948 a 1967, por David Jacobs de 1967 a 1984, por John Timpson de 1984 a 1987 y por Jonathan Dimbleby de 1987 a 2019. ^{[ 6 ]}

En marzo de 2019, Dimbleby anunció que "se retiraría... a finales de junio". Shaun Ley , Ritula Shah , Edward Stourton y Julian Worricker actuaron como moderadores interinos. En octubre de 2019, Chris Mason fue anunciado como sucesor de Dimbleby. ^{[ 7 ]}^{[ 8 ]}^{[ 9 ]} Tras el nombramiento de Mason como editor político de BBC News en 2022, se anunció que Alex Forsyth lo sucedería como presentador habitual a partir de noviembre de 2022. ^{[ 10 ]}

Notable editions

First edition

Any Questions? was first broadcast on 12 October 1948. The first edition was broadcast from the Guildhall in Winchester.^[51]

Demonstrators

During a November 1976 edition broadcast from Basingstoke, "stone-throwing demonstrators" smashed windows. Politician Enoch Powell, known for the Rivers of Blood speech in which he spoke about mass immigration, was on the panel, and demonstrators decided "to make their views heard".^[52]

Prison

In September 1991, Any Questions? was broadcast from Wayland Prison in Norfolk. The audience was made up of prisoners, who had prison officers sitting beside them. After the programme finished, the prisoners —without their officers — "crowded around" presenter Jonathan Dimbleby. One "confronted" Dimbleby, saying: "I want to ask you something, because we're quite cross here." After Dimbleby felt a moment of "alarm", the prisoner continued: "Why do we only hear Test Match Special now on longwave?" Dimbleby had "no answer" but felt "very relieved".^[53]^[54]

Stuck in traffic

In March 1993, Any Questions? broadcast during snowy weather. Then-Conservative Party chairman Norman Fowler was scheduled as a guest for that day; although he was stuck in traffic, he still managed to call on his mobile phone and take part in the discussion.

Presenter Jonathan Dimbleby went to Fowler first as "phone batteries used to run out very quickly". Fowler's first words were: "Good evening Jonathan, I find myself at something of a disadvantage here." Fellow panellist Jack Cunningham, then Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary, replied: "Of course you are, you are in the Cabinet which is ruining the country!"^[55]^[56]

60th anniversary

In October 2008, Any Questions? returned to Winchester for its 60th anniversary edition. On the panel, at the Henry Beaufort School, were: Labour MP Harriet Harman, historian and academic Peter Hennessy, Conservative politician Oliver Letwin, and Liberal Democrat Shirley Williams.^[57]^[58]

2013 New York special

Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, the venue for the programme's 2013 New York special

In April 2013, Any Questions? presented a "special edition" from New York, "to mark the first 100 days of President Obama's second term". On the panel were: Democratic Member of Congress Donna Edwards, Reuters editor-at-large Harry Evans, Republican Member of Congress Nan Hayworth, and Democratic politician, former Attorney General and Governor of New York state Eliot Spitzer. This edition was broadcast from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.^[59]^[60]

70th anniversary

In October 2018, Any Questions? held its 70th anniversary edition at the House of Commons. On the panel were: Conservative politician Tom Pursglove, Scottish Labour Party MP Danielle Rowley, online estate agent Akshay Ruparelia, Our Future Our Choice co-founder Lara Spirit, and Rizzle Kicks singer Jordan Stephens. The panel answered questions on climate change, mental health and social media, Brexit, and housing. The programme's panel and audience were aged 18 to 30.^[61]
